Suggest Treatment For Painful Bruise On Ankle And Restricted Movement In Knee

I was kicked in the shin approximately one week ago. The area continues to be tender to touch and the bruising looks more like mottled skin. Last evening I noticed I now having bruising on the inside of my ankle extending to my instep. I can t kneel and put pressure on the shin area as this is still painful.
